How much does it cost to hire a security guard in Quebec City?
In Quebec City and the Capitale-Nationale region, professional security guard rates typically run between $32 and $45 per hour — slightly higher than Montreal, because the supply of BSP-licensed guards in the region is tighter. The exact rate depends on the type of posting (static, mobile patrol, event, executive protection, armed or high-risk), the training and certifications required beyond the baseline BSP licence (bilingual supervision, crowd-crush recognition, CPI de-escalation, CPR and First Aid, special-events and fire-safety modules), the equipment provided (uniform, two-way radio, GPS reporting platform, body-worn camera, vehicle), shift length and overnight, weekend and holiday premiums, and whether a dedicated supervisor is on site. Event, VIP and high-risk assignments sit at the upper end; long-term static posts sit at the lower end.
Should I just pick the cheapest security quote in Quebec City?
We strongly advise against it. Quebec City has a smaller pool of BSP-licensed guards than Montreal, so any company quoting well below $32 per hour is almost always cutting corners — paying guards under the legal minimum, carrying insufficient liability or CNESST coverage, deploying unlicensed or under-trained staff, skipping supervision, or not producing real digital incident reports. In security you are buying risk transfer, not a body in a uniform. A single mishandled incident — a slip-and-fall the guard missed, a liability claim the insurer denies because of coverage gaps, an altercation that escalates because the guard wasn't trained in de-escalation — can easily cost more than years of the apparent 'savings.' Paying a properly insured, BSP-compliant rate is the cheapest form of risk transfer available in Quebec City.
Do you cover Vieux-Québec, the Colline Parlementaire and Ste-Foy office parks?
Yes. Our Quebec City roster covers the UNESCO-designated Vieux-Québec core, government buildings along the Colline Parlementaire, the Sainte-Foy tech and office parks, and the industrial zones of Beauport and Limoilou. We operate dispatch out of a Sainte-Foy base with GPS-tracked mobile patrol vehicles.
Are your Quebec City guards BSP-licensed and French-speaking?

Yes. All client-facing service in the Quebec City market is delivered in French as the primary language, including uniforms, vehicle markings, written reports and incident communications. English-language documentation is provided as a secondary deliverable when requested by an English-speaking tenant or event producer.
